The flip side is someone who wants a quick answer to a limited issue but otherwise has no interest in participating in (or using email rules to filter out) every single conversation on a given topic. Personally, I clicked one of the reply-to addresses in the archive from a google search, wrote a message, got a notice that it was being moderated, and then decided to sign up. If I had been told my message was rejected because I wasn't a subscriber, I might not have bothered going any further. Barriers to entry should be reduced not reinforced imo.
